Docents (guides) are needed at Pyramid Hill and will be trained concerning the art and other features offered. We have many programs for children and adults including meetings and tours. Volunteers are essential to Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and to our community. Volunteers help keep Pyramid Hill operating costs down. But more importantly, by working with volunteers we are involving the community in our operations. Volunteers provide us with valuable input on activities and services, enabling us to enhance and expand our services without raising membership and admission fees.
